President Joe Biden said Friday that the U.S. will begin air-dropping humanitarian assistance into Gaza, a day after dozens of Palestinians were killed during a chaotic encounter with Israeli troops.
President Joe Biden on Friday announced plans for the U.S. to implement the air-dropping of humanitarian aid into Gaza, following the killings of dozens of Palestinians by Israeli soldiers. Biden announced the long-considered mission after at least 115 Palestinians were killed and more than 750 others were injured, according to Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry, on Thursday. Israeli troops opened fire as huge crowds raced to pull goods off an aid convoy.
"In the coming days we’re going to join with our friends in Jordan and others who are providing airdrops of additional food and supplies" and will "seek to open up other avenues in, including possibly a marine corridor," Biden said.Aid flowing to Gaza is nowhere nearly enough," Biden continued. "Now, it’s nowhere nearly enough. Innocent lives are on the line and children’s lives are on the line. We won’t stand by until we get more aid in there.
